I would tend to disagree that Mandrake is merely a "redhat" distro. Yes,
Mandrake was at one time extensively redhat based, but not nearly so much
anymore--I can think of quite a few differences (I'll list a few):
- Mandrake, by default, is much more secure than Redhat is. With redhat,
you must specifically disable certain things to make a "secure" server.
- Mandrake is geared heavily towards Pentium level computers, instead of
based around the "386" like Redhat is.
- Mandrake includes many packages that are not available with redhat...
It would be much safer to say "mandrake and other rpm-based distros".
